The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has made a big announcement regarding the launch of the much-awaited mission Chandrayaan-3. ISRO has announced the launch date of the mission, Chandrayaan-3.
Officials announced today that the rocket could be launched on July 13 at 2:30 p.m. local time. Chandrayaan-3’s focus is on making a safe landing on the lunar surface.
According to ISRO Chairman S Somnath, this will be another major success of India in the field of space.
Officials said that after Chandrayaan-2, this mission is being sent to test the capability of safe landing on the lunar surface. Chandrayaan-2 mission failed in the last stage. Its lander hit the Earth’s surface with a shock, after which it lost contact with the Earth’s control room.
Chandrayaan-3 is being sent to complete the same incomplete mission. In this, after landing on the surface of the moon, the rover will come out of it and will revolve around the surface.
However, on the question related to the date of launch, ISRO Chairman S Somnath said, the final date for the launch of Chandrayaan-3 is yet to be fixed. The agency can fix a date between July 12 and 19. We are looking at the earliest possible date, be it 12th, 13th, 14th or 19th July. He said that the work of rocket integration is going on, which can be completed in the next two to three years. After that the test program will run. When all the tests are completed, then the final date of launch will be announced, which will be somewhere between July 12 and 19.
Four payloads in the lander, two in the rover
The lander of Chandrayaan-3 has four payloads, while the six-wheeled rover has two payloads. In addition, the propulsion module also carries a spectro-polarimetry payload that will study spectral and polarimetric measurements of Earth from the Moon’s orbit. The payloads on the lander, rover and propulsion module are designed to help scientists learn more about the Moon, Earth’s only natural satellite. The propulsion module will propel the lander and rover up to 100 km of the lunar orbit.
